eCivis vs Fluxx Grantmaker: Which is a better fit?

It is very intuitive and comprehensive. I really appreciate that I can see completed grant applications to kick start my creative process.

There are no specific cons or issues that I have had or noticed when using this software. There are no improvements needed that I can think of at this time.

The software is a great way to find grant opportunities, and to narrow our search for relevant funding opportunities.

There are times when the application appears to stall, especially in the My Saved Grants mode. I'm unsure where that problem lies.

Pro - Awesome customer service, great ease of use, grant synoposis provides information to immediately assess if it is a viable pursuit. Grant applications are available at the click of a button.

You can still get around this by logging in to your account, but it can still be difficult when viewing on a mobile device.

My experience with this software has been very good because the software is user friendly and easy to work with.

When you try to delete a "stage" you have to leave at least one file in there and can't delete it.

It's elegant, powerful, and intuitive. The people (that work there) are really great too--nice, enthusiastic, and committed (and smart).

So after three days meeting and talking with these folks and hearing the good and bad (and being early adopters there was a lot of bad), I asked them all the same question.

The flexibility of the system and ability to tailor it to the organization's needs is amazing.

I had few complaints as staff user, but now that I am on the team that deals with Fluxx my largest complaints are with customer service and customer support.

The people who work there are nice, bright, hardworking, and incredibly committed to making Fluxx the best it can be and giving you the best experience they can.

There is no way to bulk import data on your own.

The ability to customize applications and reports as an admin user is great, and I like the independence of using the system without needing technical support from Fluxx.

It can be hard to sustain your energy and focus at this final hour of the project, but it's worth it, as any mistakes here will haunt you long afterward.
